With this victory, the German national team made history at the EUROs by becoming the team with the biggest win on the opening day of a final tournament. The match between Germany and Scotland also became the match with the largest goal difference between two teams participating in an opening match.
Speaking after the match, Germany's coach Nagelsmann said: "The whole team was aware that this was only the beginning. But we started well. I have to give a lot of praise to my team. I think everyone knows the pressure in this opening match. We played with a very high intensity. The two quick goals helped the whole team a lot."
This is just our first win, and there's still a long way to go. The team encountered some problems in the second half, especially in defense, but we will quickly overcome them and aim for the highest goal in the tournament. EURO 2024 is a special tournament, and the German national team cannot afford to make any mistakes."
